Meet Your OG Family Dropouts
Founded by Dorcy Pruter and Madi Welborne, the podcast emerged from a shared passion for supporting those affected by high-conflict family dynamics, aiming to break the cycle of unhealthy patterns.
Dorcy Pruter — Founder, Reunification Coach, Cycle-Breaker
Dorcy Pruter is the founder of the Conscious Co-Parenting Institute and the Church of Soul Illumination. She’s a globally recognized reunification coach, high-conflict family systems strategist, and identity reclamation leader for both parents and adult children navigating estrangement.
But more than that—Dorcy is a Family Dropout, too.
Raised by a narcissistic mother and alienated from her own father for most of her childhood, Dorcy didn’t just heal her family trauma—she turned it into a methodology used worldwide. She has helped thousands reunite, awaken, and rebuild their families through The D.O.R.C.Y. Method™, a trauma-informed, soul-led reunification path that works when the court system and traditional therapy fail.
On the podcast, Dorcy brings 20 plus years of recovering families , lived wisdom, spiritual clarity, and unapologetic truth-telling. She doesn’t play nice with denial—and she won’t let you gaslight yourself anymore.
Madi Welborne — Creator of the Anti-Alienation Project, Adult Child Advocate
Madi Welbourne is the voice so many adult children wish they had sooner.
As the founder of the Anti-Alienation Project, Madi advocates for awareness around coercive control, emotional enmeshment, and the quiet abuse adult children often endure when one parent manipulates them against the other. She was alienated from her father. And she came back.
Madi speaks openly about the identity loss, the shame, and the long walk back to truth. Her content has gone viral for its boldness, its nuance, and its ability to name what most people can’t even articulate.
She’s not here to convince anyone. She’s here to help you remember who you were before the manipulation, before the split loyalty, before the survival strategies hardened into identity.
On Family Dropouts, Madi brings generational honesty, psychological fire, and survivor wisdom to every mic drop. She’s not just telling her story. She’s rewriting the script for a whole generation of adult children who are done living someone else’s narrative.
